BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – PIA NISBETT has been formally charged for the quantity of cocaine which was found and seized at the airport some nights ago.
The woman, whom a police press release informed is of Spooner’s Village, Cayon, was charged with cocaine possession, importation of cocaine and possession of cocaine with intent to sell.
Three charges were also preferred against her by Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise Department for possession of a concealed good – cocaine, signing a false declaration and making a false statement or declaration.

A quantity of white, powdery substance suspected to be cocaine was found on one of the women’s person. Consequently, she was taken into custody and the police subsequently confirmed that the substance was cocaine, weighing .25 kilograms with a street value of just under $23,000.
The abovementioned charges were brought against Nisbett and the police indicate that she remains in their custody.
